How To Know EXACTLY How Much Money Your Business Is Making

M

any times when talking to business owners, they don’t know EXACTLY how much money their business is making/losing. This is like taking a cab and when the

driver asks you where you want to go, you answer “I don’t know, just take me somewhere”. If you don’t EXACTLY know how your business is doing, how can you take it forward and improve it? To improve, you must know WHERE you’re currently at. Only then can you measure the results once you’ve put in efforts. For today/yesterday/last 7 days/last 30 days/last month/ this month/any time period you wish, do you know metrics like:

OVERALL 1. What is my sale revenue, for ALL my products (overall)? 2. How much are refunds, for ALL my products (overall)? 3. How much are affiliate commissions, for ALL my products (overall)? 4. What is my profits, for ALL my products (overall)?

PRODUCT 5. What is the average retention rate for a particular recurring PRODUCT/SERVICE? 6. How many unique visitors land on the sales page of a particular product? 7. How many copies did a particular product sell? 8. What is the conversion rate for a particular product? 9. What is the sales revenue for a particular product? 10. What is the refund rate for a particular product? 11. What is the EPC (earnings per click) for a particular product?

SALES FUNNEL 12. What is the sales revenue for a particular SALES FUNNEL? 13. What is the sales revenue for the Front End product? What about the OTOs? 14. How many Front End copies are sold? How many OTOs are sold? Which ones?

Who are they? Can I export this list so that I can share with my partner whom I’ve partnered for this product? 34. Can I do a search on a particular customer and see how many products he have purchased from me? How many has he refunded? How much money has he spent on me? If he has too many refunds, can I ban him so that he can’t purchase my product(s) anymore?

INCOME PREDICTION 38. Can you predict your income based on your past sales history?

Knowing metrics like these allow you to know EXACTLY how well your business is doing (apart from #38 of course, which is about income prediction). How healthy is your business? No more guessing, no more “erm... it SEEMS the business is doing good”. By knowing EXACTLY how your business is performing at EVERY ASPECT, you can spot weaknesses and improve them. Which part of your sales process is not performing up to expectations? Improve them! Why is the refund rate so high? Improve them! Why are affiliates referring so few sales? It may be because their EPC is too low. Could it be that your sales page is not converting well? Improve it!

How To Know & Get All These Numbers AUTOMATICALLY

C

an your shopping cart software give you these metrics/numbers? I don’t know. Check with your provider and find out if they have systems in place to help you look up all these numbers.

Lifetime Customer Value (LCV)

L

ifetime Customer Value (LCV) is one of the most important metrics in ANY business. It simply means how much a customer is worth to you. Put it another way, it means the total amount of money a customer has spent on your products.

E.g. If John has been a customer with you for 2 years and he has spent $1,000 so far, LCV for John THUS FAR= $1,000 If Peter has been a customer with you for 5 years and he has spent $4,600 so far, LCV for Peter THUS FAR = $4,600 If Alex just came to know about your business today and he spent $200, LCV for Alex THUS FAR = $200 LCV should go up as time goes by, as you sell more and more products. So far we’ve seen LCV for each specific individual. As a business owner, you should know your AVERAGE LCV – i.e. What is the LCV for your business, on average. Using the examples above, Average LCV = (1000 + 4600 + 200)/3 = $1,933.33 As a business ower, you MUST know your LCV. If you don’t, you don’t have a business. You’re simply wasting your time “playing”. For starters, your goal is to know your LCV for the first 30, 60, and 90 days since our budget is limited. Knowing this LCV allows you to know how much you can spend on acquiring NEW customers.

E.g. If your LCV is $100 and you spend $50 to acquire a new customer, your profits per customer

Zaxaa - page

| 14


is $50. That’s spending $50 to get $100. How many times would you do that? You can buy unlimited traffic! Knowing your LCV already puts you ahead of 90% of business owners who don’t have a clue what their LCV is. Now, how about putting you ahead of 99% of them instead? Different traffic sources and different affiliates generate different qualities of traffic. Knowing which traffic source converts best will allow you to focus and expand on that source and abandon those that are not converting. Likewise, knowing which affiliates are sending the highest quality traffic will allow you to reward them and ban those that are sending junk traffic. If you know the LCV for a specific traffic source (Sub-ID) or affiliate, you’re 99% ahead of everyone else. Without proper tracking, you wouldn’t know which campaigns work and which don’t. Our goal in advertising is to INITIALLY break even, not to profit. If we can just break even on the first sale, that’s a good starting point. No need to worry about not profiting INITIALLY. You’ll have plenty of chances to take a break even campaign and turn it to a profitable campaign when you send out other product offers that you have. You already have their contact info, so contact them and make sales! Earlier I told you if you know the LCV for a specific traffic source (Sub-ID) or affiliate, you’re 99% ahead of everyone else.

Let’s run some real numbers... E.g. #1 You set up 3 advertising campaigns on Facebook. Campaign 1 – the landing page url goes to: http;//salespage.com/fb1 Campaign 2 – the landing page url goes to: http;//salespage.com/fb2 Campaign 3 – the landing page url goes to: http;//salespage.com/fb3

Zaxaa - page

| 15


You can use Facebook built-in tracking to track conversions, but it still doesn’t tell you what your LCV is. When you use Zaxaa for your shopping cart to process sales, you can get your LCV easily at the click of a button.

IMPLEMENTATION Here's how you do it. On http;//salespage.com/fb1, insert the order button code as given to you by Zaxaa. The order button code will look something like this:

See the text inside the red rectangle. <a href=”https://username.zaxaa.com/o/123456/1”> replace username with your Zaxaa username Simply add this text (Sub-ID): /fb1 to the end of the text, so that it becomes: <a href=”https://username.zaxaa.com/0/123456/1/fb1”> Note: you still need to copy the WHOLE CODE as given to you by Zaxaa, into your sales page. Else, your order button will not show and function. Next, repeat the process for http;//salespage.com/fb2, this time adding this text (Sub-ID): /fb2 to the end of the text, so that it becomes: <a href=”https://username.zaxaa.com/0/123456/1/fb2”> Finally, repeat the process for fb3. Now, whenver a sale is made, Zaxaa will know which of your Facebook campaign resulted in the sale.

Zaxaa - page

| 16


Simply go to LCV report (from inside your Zaxaa account >> reports >> customer >> lifetime customer value), and perform the search query below:

Of course, make sure to change “fb1” to whatever Sub-ID you used. Click search and Zaxaa will return your LCV (Lifetime Customer Value) for that specific Sub-ID. Suppose a customer, John, purchased your product based on “fb1” campaign. Next time he buys your other products from your own promotions to him, he'll be tagged with the Sub-ID “fb1” as well, AUTOMATICALLY without having to do anything extra on your part. That last sentence there is critical. Re-read that to make sure you understand what it means.

It basically means Zaxaa is smart and will automatically assign the last Sub-ID that was tagged to THIS specific customer and assign the SAME Sub-ID to the current transaction. So over time, you'll know that John is a high quality customer who has spent xx amount of money, and you first acquired him from Facebook with the campaign “fb1”. This tells you that Facebook campaign “fb1” is working and you can spend more money on this winning campaign. Over time, more and more sales start coming from “fb1”, and when you do a search on Zaxaa (similar to the screenshot above), you'll get a more accurate data of the LCV of “fb1”. Knowing this LCV for “fb1” allows you to know how much you can spend on acquiring a new customer from “fb1” campaign.

Nice, eh?

Zaxaa - page

Now, let's talk about knowing the LCV for a specific affiliate. This simply means how much a particular affiliate has been referring you business, on the long run.

IMPLEMENTATION Go back to your LCV report (from inside your Zaxaa account >> reports >> customer >> lifetime customer value), and perform the search query below:

Change “John Doe” to your affiliate's name. Then click search, and Zaxaa will return your LCV for that specific affiliate. Over time, you'll get to see which affiliates are referring you the most business. You can then follow up with them and say thank you as well as motivating them to refer more customers to you.

* Tip *

A

good way to motivate high-caliber affiliates who have been referring a lot of business to you, and to ask them to

refer even more customers, is to give them high commissions. The caveat is you don't want to simply increase your commissions inside your product settings as this will mean EVERY affiliate will be getting preferential treatment with these higher commissions.

What you want to do is create an “Affiliate Contract” with these high-caliber affiliates.

Zaxaa - page

| 18


IMPLEMENTATION Here's how you do it. Go to My Affiliates page (reports >> my affiliates) and perform the search query below:

Do a search for the high-caliber affiliate by name, email, etc and then click “Search”. That affiliate will show up in the search results. Click “Contract” and you'll be taken to the affiliate contract page for that affiliate. Simply follow the self-explanatory instructions. Next time your high-caliber affiliate refer you sales, he'll get a higher commission than your regular affiliates.

How To Increase Your Income 10X Without A Product Launch

Method #1 – Limited Discount Recently I bought a piece of software which I did not need immediately. But I knew it would be useful for me in the near future. It's against my "rules" to purchase something I don't currently need. But I went ahead and bought it anyway. Why? Two words. LIMITED DISCOUNT. The product seller ran a time-sensitive 50% discount for only 72 hours. When I got to the sales page, there were only 4+ hours left. Since I was about to step out of the office and call it a day, I had to make a decision right then and there because come tomorrow the discount offer won't be available again. So I grabbed it. Whenever I run a Limited Discount offer, sales spike. Especially on the last day, when sales skyrocket! Why does this work so well? Because people are afraid they'd miss out on good things, on good offers. They don't want to lose out. The fear of losing out is greater than the pleasure of attaining something.

Zaxaa - page

| 20


* Tip * If you want to quickly explode your sales in a short period of time, run a limited discount for your product. A limited discount can be: • Time sensitive (e.g. 50% off for 72-hour only) • Quantity sensitive (e.g. 50% off for the first 20 customers only) The bigger the discount, the more sales you'll make.

The important thing to take note is: 1. You must stick to your promise. Once the discount is over, it's over. If you say the discount is only valid till Wednesday, and when people come back to your site on Thursday, Friday, etc and it's still available, you lose credibility. People won't trust you the next time you say you have a time-sensitive discount – thereby leading in reduced sales. 2. You must have a reason WHY you're running the discount. It could be it's your/your spouse's/your kid's birthday. Or you're celebrating a milestone you've reached. Or it's Christmas time, etc.

Method #2 – The Exclusivity Pricinciple Your product may be limited to only 100 copies available. Once they're gone, they're gone. This works because people want to feel they are special. Being one of only 100 people to get their hands on your product will make them feel part of an exclusive group! But what if you want to offer more than 100 copies (say 200 copies) of your product but still want to take advantage of this "exclusivity" principle? Here's a tactic you can use... Just like before, you offer 100 copies initially for sale. Then once you hit that number, you close the offer. A month or two later, you open up another 100 spots. Then you close again.

Zaxaa - page

| 21


Method #3 - Dimesale Dimesale means the price increases as you sell more copies or as time elapses. This is going to create urgency and hence increase sales. Examples: Increase product X's price by $0.50 for every 5 copies sold Increase product X's price by $1 every week But how do you limit the quantity of your product? How do you increase the price automatically as more copies are sold or as time passes by? You're not going to sit around behind the computer and monitor your sales all day and then manually adjust the price, are you? It'd be a pain in the butt and you'll be tied to your computer 24/7. Do you really want that, seriously? Zaxaa has features that do all 3 methods AUTOMATICALLY so you leverage on our technology and spend more time on other more important tasks or simply relax

IMPLEMENTATION Here's how you run a limited discount deal You don't need to create a separate product and set up everything again. That's a waste of time. All you need to do is simply use Zaxaa's coupon feature to accomplish this. Go to Coupons page (products >> coupons) (Advanced view) to create your limited discount coupons. Click the “create coupon�:

Then follow the self-explanatory instructions. It's very easy and straightforward.

Here's how to limit your product quantity Inside your Zaxaa account, go inside your product setings >> general settings >> limit product quantity >> yes (Advanced view):

Here's how to set up a dimesale for your product Inside your Zaxaa account, go inside your product settings >> general settings >> enable dimesale >> yes (Advanced view):

* Tip * To boost your sales even more using these 3 methods, ask your affiliates to promote for you. Did you know you can also payout INSTANT commissions at the point-ofsale (if you want)? Paying instant commissions at the point-of-sale (instead of waiting for the refund period to clear) is

0

200

a great incentive for affiliates since they can get and enjoy their commissions immediately.

Zaxaa - page

| 23


Of course you don't want to pay instant commissions to just anyone. You want to payout instant commissions only to those affiliates whom you know well and trust. You might be asking: “What if someone refunds the purchase? How am I going to get back the commissions I've paid?” No worries! Zaxaa handles that automatically for you as well. Simply refund the purchase / transaction and Zaxaa will take the money out from your affiliate's PayPal account and return it to you. Then Zaxaa will automatically return the full purchase price from your PayPal account to your customer. How does Zaxaa have the ability to do that?

It's all answered here.

IMPLEMENTATION Here's how to set up INSTANT commissions Go to Payment Integration Settings page (settings >> payment integration):

On PayPal – Adaptive Payments, click “Active” >> then follow the easy on-screen instructions to link your PayPal account with Zaxaa. After you've succesfully linked your PayPal account, go to your product settings >> general settings >> payment processors:

Zaxaa - page

| 24


On “PayPal – Adaptive Payments” >> click yes. Save your changes. After you've done the above steps, whenever an affiliate wants to promote your product, he'll be given the opportunity to request for instant commissions from you. You then get to see which affiliates have requested to have instant commissions on the Instant Commission Requests page (reports >> instant commissions requests) – where you can approve/ reject their requests. At any time, you can go to My Affiliates page (reports >> affiliate/partner >> my affiliates) and see which affiliates are on instant commissions and which are not, like this:

* More Tip *

H

ere's another insane way of making sure they go all out to promote your offers.

Approach your top 3 affiliates and offer to let them promote your product at a discounted price for 72 hours only. Then you go and create your 3 discount coupons on the Coupon page (as shown before), this time making sure you TAG each of the coupons to each of the affiliates.

Tagging a coupon to an affiliate means: Whenever this coupon is used in a transaction, the tagged affiliate will always be credited for the sale, regardless of whether the customer clicked another affiliate's affiliate link or if a naked link

Zaxaa - page

| 25


(i.e. no affiliate link) was clicked. This is useful when you're running an exclusive discount offer with a high-caliber affiliate, and other affiliates know about it and try to take advantage of the situation by promoting the discount offer to his own list using his own affiliate link, and then telling his list to use the coupon code that was intended for the high-caliber affiliate. If you enable this feature, the high-caliber affiliate will still get credited instead of the cheating affiliate. But we don't stop there to make our top 3 affiliates feel special. To make sure they know we appreciate them very much, create a CUSTOM coupon code for them by their name (for example) or something that uniquely identifies them. People like when their name is mentioned, especially in the coupon code. It makes them look good in the eyes of their customers and subscribers.

IMPLEMENTATION Here’s how to tag a coupon to a specific affiliate Go to Coupons page (products >> coupons) and create a new coupon. Scroll down to “Tag Affiliate” >> Yes >> insert the affiliate username/email that you want to tag this coupon to:

Here's how to create a custom coupon code Still inside your coupon settings, scroll down to “Coupon code” >> Custom >> enter your custom coupon code (e.g. Affiliate name):

Call From Long Lost Friend Explodes Your Sales

A

"long-lost" friend who hasn't contacted you for ages suddenly calls you out of the blue and asks what you're currently doing to make a living.

And I bet this is what goes on in your mind: "Gosh he is going to try selling me another mlm or biz opp thing..." I've been in that situation multiple times before, and I'm sure you have too.Truth be told, I've joined multiple mlm companies but I failed to achieve any kind of success in all of them. Not the mlm's fault. Totally my fault. I was pretty laid back and didn't take consistent effort, let alone go the extra mile to make it work. The reason I joined them in the first place was -- as you've probably already guessed -- because they show REAL people making it. Average Joes who've made it. Hey I was an average Joe too, so I thought I could follow in their footsteps.Anyway, here's something to think about... There are always people succeeding even when you're failing, because they're relentless and work their butts off. Another ingredient to their success is the mlm company's compensation plan. Not only do they reward you for YOUR PERSONAL efforts, they also reward you for the efforts of OTHER PEOPLE you introduce to the business. It's called leverage.Online in the IM industry, we call it JV Broker. A JV Broker is someone who has connections and influence in your marketplace who has the power to "strike deals". He can help recruit affiliates on our behalf. Of course we give him some kind of rewards in return. The reward is typically a fixed fee you pay upfront to him, or a percentage of the revenue for those sales that are referred by the affiliates he brings in.

Example: You're about to release a product. JV Broker Bob uses his experience, exposure, and influence in the marketplace to help recruit affiliates for you. These affiliates already have a previous working relationship with Bob so they trust him. Affiliates line up to promote your product. You get tons of sales. Your affiliates get tons of commissions. JV Broker Bob gets tons of 2nd-tier commissions based on the sales performance of HIS affiliates (the affiliates he brings in). Before you complain: "But won't that cut down my overall profits". Yes it will. But you're only paying the JV Broker out of profits you wouldn't have had anyway. You have no risk whatsoever. He recruiting a whole bunch of profitable affiliates. Think in abundance instead of scarcity. The former gets you far ahead in your business, while the latter brings you down. To set up this 2-tier/JV Broker feature to explode your sales, you'd need to be a programmer or hire one to code it for you. It will take a lot of effort and hence time. Or you can simply sit back and use Zaxaa to do it for you, easily and quickly by clicking a few buttons.

IMPLEMENTATION Here's how to set up the 2-tier/JV Broker feature Inside your Zaxaa account, go inside your product settings >> affiliate program >> yes >> enable 2nd-tier affiliate/jv broker >> yes (Advanced view):

How To Sell Sell And Sell Even

When You Don’t Know A Thing About Selling

A

ttracting affiliates to promote your products is a great, free way to get traffic to your sites -- and more importantly -- generate revenue and profits.Here's another great way to get more traffic, revenue, and profits.

Joint Venture (JV) partners. JV partners are a type of affiliates, but they're better than affiliates. With affiliates, anyone can just promote your products. There is no relationship.With JV partners, you know them personally. You have a working relationship with them. You trust them. They have "skin" in the game. Here are the different types of JV partners: 1. You co-create the product with someone, and you split the profits 2. You create the product and partner with someone to market your product, or vice versa With #1, you can leverage each other's audience to sell the product, which results in more sales and profits. With #2, you can be the expert in your niche and don't know a thing about selling and marketing. You team up with a marketing expert who doesn't know anything about your niche but is very good at selling, and vice versa. Here's how to get really, really potent profits -- combine the power of affiliates AND JV partners together.

You co-create a product with another expert (JV partner). You have your own audience to promote to. Your JV partner has his own audience to promote to as well. The product also has an affiliate program to attract affiliates.

Boom!

Your sales explode through the roof. But how do you technically set up all this? You can spend a year and hire programmers (yes, that's multiple programmers - because you can't code it alone) to create a software for you. I say a year because it's difficult to create such a robust software that can do all these things and still provide great reporting stats. Or you can simply plug-n-play INSTANTLY by using Zaxaa. Zaxaa even allows you to set up MULTIPLE JV partners if you want. And you know what's even better? You don't even have to manually pay out the money you owe to JV partners and affiliates. It's all automatically done for you, on time every time. Save your time and effort to focus on your business instead of administrative tasks like this.

IMPLEMENTATION Here's how to set up JV Partners Profit Sharing Inside your Zaxaa account, go inside your product settings >> general settings >> enable profit sharing (partnership) >> yes: Now you can co-create the product with someone and split the profits. Or you can create the product and partner with someone to market your product, or vice versa.

Sweet!

How To Lockdown/Blacklist Customers & Affiliates

S

ometimes you just want to fire a customer and/or affiliate. There will always be customers who spend very little on your products, yet they demand to be treated like a king, and

their requests are beyond reasonable. Or they might share around or group-buy your product. Or they might be serial refunders who refund every single purchase they've made from you. Affiliates might be sending junk traffic with no conversions at all. They hurt your reputation because your EPC (earnings per click) falls down the drain fast. These customers and affiliates are simply not working your time and efforts, and you should blacklist/ban them. When blacklisted, a customer will not be able to purchase your products anymore and an affiliate will not be able to promote your products anymore.

IMPLEMENTATION Here's How To Easily Blacklist/Ban Customers & Affiliates Inside your Zaxaa account, go to Blacklist Settings page (settings >> blacklist settings) (Advanced view). Enable Zaxaa Blacklist Feature by clicking “Yes”. Scroll down to “Manual Blacklist Customer”: You can blacklist by domains, emails, Ips, usernames.

* Tip * You can also enable Platform Blacklist Customer (if you want):

This means you can utilize other Zaxaa Sellers' blacklisted customers and blacklist them as well. This will give you To blacklist/ban AFFILIATES, you follow the same procedure as above, except this time blacklisting AFFILIATES instead of customers. Yes you can also Platform Blacklist Affiliates.

IMPLEMENTATION Still on the Blacklist Settings page, go to the top of the page “Auto-Lock Customers”:

From here, it's pretty much self-explanatory.

How To Make Sure Commissions Are Not Stolen

I

t's common in our industry that sometimes customers buy from their own affiliate links. As a product seller, this means you're losing money

because you pay out commissions that shouldn't have been paid out in the first place. Which is why we've spent a considerable amount of time to combat this problem. Over the long run, you'll save tons of money by not paying cheating affiliates.

With Zaxaa, when an affiliate tries to purchase your product using his own affiliate link, Zaxaa knows and will AUTOMATICALLY dis-credit his commissions. But what if the affiliate uses his spouse/child/parent affiliate link to purchase, and then gets his commission from them? No problem! We have taken that into account as well and have a 2nd safety measure to combat this. Simply go to the said transaction and void his commissions. Doing this is very, very easy.

IMPLEMENTATION Here's how to void affiliate commissions Go to Sales Report page (reports >> sales report) and select a transaction by clicking on “details�:

A lightbox will show up showing the transaction details:

Click “mark as void� to void the affiliate commision for this transaction.

Protecting Your Business

A

lot of business owners ONLY use PayPal to take payments from customers. While PayPal is the most popular payment processor and one that we use and integrate with, there are other good alternatives on the market today.

I've heard quite a number of horror stories of business owners getting their PayPal account limited/frozen because they processed a huge amount of transaction volume in a short amount of time (usually caused by a new product launch). While other payment processors definitely do reviews on your business before allowing you to use them, it's good business practice to have a backup plan or even multiple back up plans to protect your business in case PayPal limits your account and you can no longer take payments using them. Which is why Zaxaa integrates with other payment processors and gateways like Authorize.net, Stripe, and 2checkout – in addition to PayPal. I highly recommend you at least have 2 payment processors set up and ready to go so that if one fails, you can use the other.

Moral of the story: Solely relying on 1 (ONE) payment processor is RISKY for your business and a bad business decision!

IMPLEMENTATION How to set up multiple payment processors Go to Payment Integration Settings page (settings >> payment integration): Simply choose which payment processor(s)/gateway(s) you want to use for your Zaxaa ACCOUNT and click “Active”. Always remember to save your changes. Once

you’ve

activated

the

payment

processor(s)/

gateway(s) you want, go to your product settings >> payment processors:

limited/frozen

for

whatever

reason, you can change to another payment processor – e.g. Authorize. net, Stripe, or 2checkout.

3 Ways To Increase Your Income There are 3 ways to increase your income: 1. Increase the number of NEW customers (most business owners ONLY focus on this) 2. Increase the number of TRANSACTIONS at the point of purchase (most business owners neglect this) 3. Increase the FREQUENCY of purchase from EXISTING customers (most business owners neglect this) Increase any of the 3 metrics above and you'll increase your income. Increase all 3 of them and you'll increase your income even further. Math 101. Fact. Let’s say: Your current customers are 100 They purchase 2 products at the point of sale They purchase 2 times per month And the product price is $10 Income = 100 x 2 x 2 x $10 = $4,000 Now let’s double each point. • Increase the number of NEW customers – 100 x 2 = 200 • Increase the number of TRANSACTIONS at the point of purchase – 2 x 2 = 4 • Increase the FREQUENCY of purchase from EXISTING customers – 2 x 2 = 4 Income = 200 x 4 x 4 x $10 = $32,000 Just by doubling each of the above metrics, you have increased your income by 8 times! Next, let’s take a look at how to increase each of the 3 metrics.

Zaxaa - page

| 37


#1 – Increase the number of NEW customers You can achieve this by buying ads (Facebook ads, Google AdWords, solo ads, etc). Or you can invest your time and write great content and rank your site high on Google.

#2 – Increase the number of TRANSACTIONS at the point of purchase After customers have purchased your initial product (also known as Front End product), you offer them an immediate One-Time-Offer (OTO) product that's related to their initial purchase. Say your Front End product is about “How to build an email list”, your OTO could be “How to write highly effective emails that sell”. The more OTOs you offer, and the more RELEVANT they are to your Front End product, the more money you make. So Front End product -> OTO 1 - > OTO 2, etc. This is called a Sales Funnel. You take visitors to your sales page, they purchase your Front End product, they're offered OTO1, OTO2, etc.

IMPLEMENTATION To implement this, go to your Zaxaa account: Create a Front End product Create 2 OTO products Attach the OTO producs to the Front End product Here are 2 videos showing you how it’s done: http://www.zaxaa.com/p/tutorial#create-front-end http://www.zaxaa.com/p/tutorial#create-oto-attach-front-end

#3 – Increase the FREQUENCY of purchase from EXISTING customers There are 2 ways to do that.

Method #1

After customers have bought from you, follow up and ask them if they have any questions or need help with the product they’ve purchased from you. This shows that you care for them. Then you

Zaxaa - page

| 38


follow up again and sell your other products/services. Most business owners make the fatal mistake of only finding NEW customers, when the fact is that finding new customers to buy something from you for the first time is very expensive. Customer Acquision Cost (CAC) is the highest at the FIRST point of contact with customers. They don’t know who you are yet, they don’t know if they can trust you, they don’t know your product quality, etc. It’s natural for them to wary of you. But once they’ve bought from you, and your product solves their problems and your customer service is great, it’ll be a lot easier to sell them your other products. Also, since you already have their contact info, following up with them via email to ask for the sale almost costs you nothing. So this means you need to build a customer list so that you can follow up with them.

IMPLEMENTATION

Go to your Zaxaa account: Inside your product settings >> general settings >> add to customer autoresponder list >> yes >> manually paste autoresponder code, like this:

Remember to save your changes. Whenever customers purchased your product, they’ll be automatically added to your customer list. Then you can follow up with them to build relationships and sell more products.

Zaxaa - page

* Tip * A good way to showcase your entire product/service portfolio is to use a Frontstore to display all your products. Because you never know what someone might want at any given time (e.g. You try to sell someone product A but they don’t want it now, but instead they want product B). By sending them to your Frontstore, they can choose what they want at that time (product B) and purchase it there.

IMPLEMENTATION If you have a Zaxaa account, we have automatically created a Frontstore for you, which is located here: http;//username.zaxaa.com Replace “username” with your Zaxaa username. Initially, your Frontstore will be empty. To add a product to your Frontstore, create a Front End product and inside the product settings >> general settings >> hide from frontstore >> No:

Make sure to save changes and your product will instantly show up on your Frontstore.

Method #2 Another way to increase the frequency of purchase from existing customers is to sell a recurring/ subscription product where your customers pay you on a recurring, consistent basis. Some excellent examples are your phone, internet, cable tv, and electricity bills that you pay every month. If you don't pay, you won't have electrictity, no internet and tv connection etc. So let's say you sell a monthly recurring product (we call this a continuity) and you get 2 new customers every day. In 30 days, you'd have 60 new customers. In 2 months, you'd have 60 existing customers + 60 new customers. In 3 months, some of your exisiting customers would have dropped off, but you still get a majority of them staying in your continuity + new customers for that month. Over the long term, you'd build up a nice amount of recurring/automatic income. Even when you don't acquire new customers for a month, you still get income from your existing customers.

A great way to deliver your recurring product/continuity is via a membership site where customers can enter a secured members area and enjoy your product (content/software, etc). They can come back to this members area whenver they want. The more content you provide in the members area, the better. And it'd be even better if you can drip-feed the content – which basically means you provide the content on a pre-scheduled basis. So for example, you can provide week 1 content on week 1, week 2 content on week 2, etc.

IMPLEMENTATION We provide a FREE WordPress membership plugin called Zaxaa Member, which you can download from within your Zaxaa account (settings >> Zaxaa Member):

With Zaxaa Member, you can create membership sites to protect your members area, pages, content, files, and drip-feed them however you want.
